******AITCH**** very, very quick question about your veggie Moussaka ka ka

[GColdtimer]

may be a stupid question but is there any reason why I can't use red split lentils rather thay puy. I have unearthed a packet of puy from the back of the cupboard by they are past their sell by date. Have no idea about the difference.

[GColdtimer]

honestly, where is everyone when you need them

[donnie]

if they are not too far past the date the weill be fine. How far gone are they?

[ProfYaffle]

imvho I don't think it's a biggie. Puy letils stay whole so a bit more meaty in texture whereas red lentils will go mushy which I quite like tbh.

[GColdtimer]

Ah, thank you! Donnie, January 2007 so probably a bit too far past. Will try with the red ones.

I've used both red and puy in veggie lasagnes and they just give a different taste but both are good. Puy definately have a meatier texture and a more sticky taste I think.

[chocolateshoes]

sticky???!!! What am I writing??? I meant a more stocky taste! Haven't even started on the wine yet!!

Jan 2007? They'll have years left in 'em yet...

[GColdtimer]

really? Oh, OK then, will try those next time!
